POTTSVILLE — The Dardanelle Lady Sand Lizards golf team captured the 4-4A Conference championship with a team score of 297 during the 4-4A district golf tournament Sept. 19 at the Galla Creek Country Club.

Miranda Possage earned medalist honors as she shot an 88 to lead her team to the chamionship.

“You can’t say enough about Miranda,” Dardanelle golf coach Jared White said. “She had some bad luck and reinjured her left knee about a week and a half ago in basketball practice. She wasn’t even sure if she was going to be able to play until a few days before the match.

“She really showed some toughness out there. Walking 18 holes on a bad leg is not easy, and shooting what she did with the circumstances makes it more impressive. The girls were excited about the victory and are looking forward to the state golf match. I’m very proud of them.”

Lady Sand Lizards Julianna Harper shot a 101, Makayla Crow carded a 108, and Taylor Salters shot a 128. The Class 4A state golf tournament is scheduled for Oct. 3 at the Maumelle Country Club.

Dardanelle’s boys finished fourth as a team. Clint Smallwood carded a 92, Lawton Davidson shot a 94 and Gus Ramey shot a 95 to round out the scoring for the Sand Lizards. Woodrow Ramey also competed for DHS.

Smallwood qualified for the state golf match as an individual and will compete Oct. 3.
